There are a couple of options to choose from when it's time to send your Event email. We always recommend testing your Event email by Sending a Quick Test for your Event or Sending for Review before your live send or Scheduled Send.
Use the Instruction below to Approve and Send your Event invitation.
Note: When sending a Quick Test for a multi-session Event, the confirmation received by the tester will always be for the first event in the series. In a live send, the recipient will receive details of the selected session.
To Approve and Send your Event Invitation:
-
Edit the Event you'd like to send.

-
From the Event edit screen, go to the Send drop-down and click Approve and Send.

Note: This option will only appear for Events in draft status.
- Click Approve and Send Email to open the Send Wizard and begin sending your Event email.

Note: We always recommend Sending a Quick Test for your Event or Sending for Review before a live send. If you have not completed a test send of your email, you will be asked to click Continue without testing; do so at your own peril.
